Canari (grape variety)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canari is a red wine variety . Originally at home in France , she found her way to South America with immigrants .

It is most widespread in Argentina , where it has long been confused with the Pinot gris variety . This error was not cleared up until the middle of the 20th century by the French Paul Truel . Smaller stocks are also known in France.

The variety ripens under comparable conditions approx. 20 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late in Central Europe. It is vigorous and very profitable. The wines are light red, have a low alcohol content and are of poor quality. The wines should be drunk in their youth. Canari is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.

The mutations Canari gris and Canari blanc have been found on various occasions .
